no fun, no fun at all…

04.02.13

it is really too bad Mara & Nick are not fun at all. They have no personality, and they are never, ever silly… like ever.

Yeah, just kidding.

A few weeks back I got the chance to hang out with Mara & Nick on a beautiful sunny afternoon in downtown McMinville. We seriously laughed so much, I kind of adore these two. I am so looking forward to their wedding this summer. If they are as entertaining as they were during out shoot, it is going to be one awesome wedding. 🙂

Here are a handful of my favorites…

Mara & Nick thanks for being up for anything, and for making the trip north! I had a great time with you two. I can not wait to capture your wedding day! For now I hope you did the sneak peek, and as you know I always love a good blog challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this little post, I will throw in an 11×14 on the house. So leave some love kids.

my clients are crazy cool

so I was in a discussion with another photographer today about who’s clients were cooler…

clearly I won!

Lan + Joel = Love

03.08.13

When Lan & Joel said they wanted to do something less “traditional” and more “Portland Style Fun” I knew they were my kind of people. After chatting for a bit we decided on a beer crawl that would show off the city they love, the beer they love, and well their love. These two are currently living in California but are going with their beloved Portland for their wedding so it was only fitting we show off the city during our shoot.

We lucked into some beautiful weather, and had such a great time. I can not wait for these two to come back up north for their wedding in just a few months!

Here are a few of my favorites:

Lan & Joel thanks again for being so fun, and being up for anything. I had a great time with you guys! I hope you have enjoyed the sneak peek. I will have the whole set done for you shortly. For now I would love to offer you a little blog post challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post I will throw in an 11×14 wall print on the house.

So leave some love people!

love in wine country

01.30.13

How lucky am I, really. My job is to capture beautiful babies and people in love. On top of that my job takes me to incredibly beautiful places on pretty days. Yep, my job is the best.

On this particular day it was my job to capture Nicole and David. These two will be getting married soon, and wanted their engagement session to be a little more intimate, and show off on of their favorite places, the Solena Winery & Estate in Oregon’s wine country. Being that wine country is literally my back yard, I was excited to capture the day. For our session we lucked into so.e amazing weather, and even some sunshine!

Nicole & David were lovely to capture, and up for anything! I had a great time with these two, and can not wait for the wedding.

Here are a few of my favorites so far…

Nicole & David thanks again for having me out to the winery, it was great to spend more time with you two and capture your love for eachother. I can not wait for your big day, it should be a beautiful one! I hope you have enjoyed the sneak peek. I should be done with the whole set shortly. For now I would love to offer you two a little blog comment challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this little post, I will throw in an 11×14 on the house.

So leave some love people! You know you want to …

I’ve done a terrific job raising David to be the man he is today. It wasn’t always easy and boy oh boy did I have to drink a lot of High Life to get through the really tough times. But if a wonderful girl like Nicole is willing to marry him, then by golly that work was all worth it!
THJanuary 30, 2013 - 4:02 pm
What a good looking couple! Congratulations!!
